In fact, it was Rossetti who persuaded Jane to marry Morris. Small wonder that Morris came to regard his devious painter pal as "sometimes an angel, sometimes a damned scoundrel...
...Morris have much luck with his offspring. His favorite daughter was beautiful but epileptic. The other daughter nearly married George Bernard Shaw but briefly married another seedy socialist comrade of Morris, grew a mustache and took up with an androgynous lady who wore tweed knickerbockers. In later life she took to impersonating the catatonic lady of Shalott and became both custodian of and exhibit at the Morris shrine at Kelmscott Manor...
